Hello!
I know there are a number of resources for ascertaining the number of first-time buyers. I'm wondering if anyone has anything that gives the accurate number first time buyers from a specified year that returned this year?
So, of the number of first-time buyers in <insert previous year here>, I want to know how many came in 2023. It doesn't necessarily matter if they came in another year between <previous year> and this year, just that their first time coming to the Festival was <previous year>. That said, if you have a way to get that number (# of first timers from <previous year> coming back for first time this year), I would not turn it down.
I've tried a couple ways to get at it, but I don't feel like the numbers are accurate. When I use the formula in a jump-to constituent dashboard, it just gives me all ticket buyers for the season, so it's not helping me verify.
Any insight from this crowd is always greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For the longest time I have pulled these kind of numbers using extraction manager. If nothing else it would help as a tool for verifying your count.
Thanks, Kanani! Agreed that extractions are a great way to verify the accuracy of the number. My hope is to create a season recap dashboard, as there has been a long list of data requests for our 2023 season. I suppose I could create an extraction for first timers from each season, save those extractions to lists, then use the lists as filters? There's definitely more than one solution here. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
